What is #fridayreadstake me away? It is a new meme for readers/bloggers. I have noticed different readers/bloggers apologize for a certain book or phase of reading. I say, read. Period. Whether it’s a magazine you’ve saved up for Friday afternoon or evening or a mystery, romance novel, sci-fi, bodice ripper, or New York Times bestseller, Friday is about doing what we love most: reading.

How does it work?

What if I don’t have a blog?

Tell me what you’re reading anyway. Let me know if you need a great suggestion. I’m full of them, and I’m bossy, as are a lot of other people around these parts. 🙂

I don’t blog — I have a journal (slight, subtle, but important differences). Is it ok if I swipe the idea for that? (I don’t talk about the journal over there because it’s where I rant about my students [and other things], and there are folks on FB that I would rather not find it. Yes, it’s the internet, and it’s probably inevitable. I plan on stalling that as long as I can!)

Of course you can! Thanks for asking, but I’d love for you to participate in your own way.

It’s a long weekend. A copy of “A Discovery of Witches” is sitting right here beside me. First thing up, though, is grading 46 “short” (3-5 page) research papers. (with in-text citations and a real bibliography — and points taken off because you couldn’t be bothered to read the directions!)

My mom read and LOVED A Discovery of Witches. I need to definitely get it. So much to read…

and so little time! I teach at a 2-year/4-year school. We just got approved for a 4-year Biology Degree, so I have a hellacious teaching load — 250 students, so I’m almost always grading *something!*

I'm Jenn, and this is my space to talk about books, film, design, and life. Oh yeah, and I'm (slightly) picky.
